MOBILE, Alabama - Mobile right-hander Chase Anderson entered Friday night's start against the Jackson Generals with a sparkling 1.08 earned-run average - and losses in each of his previous two outings. He finished the Southern League game at Hank Aaron Stadium with an even lower ERA, and this time, he got the pitching win, too, in the BayBears' 3-0 victory over the Generals.

In 6.2 innings, Anderson (3-2) gave up four hits, walked one and struck out six against Jackson (11-11). He lowered his ERA to 0.85. In 31.2 innings this season, Anderson has given up 18 hits and five walks and struck out 31.

"It's good to get him a win," Mobile manager Andy Green said. "There wasn't a ton of fireworks, but there was a little bit of support tonight. Chase was outstanding. He executed the game plan to perfection. It was a three-pitch mix. He kept people off balance, and he got in there when he had to. So he did a tremendous job."

The BayBears (13-9) scored two runs in the third and one in the fourth to back Anderson. Mobile raised its record to 9-1 when scoring at least three runs this season.

Mike Freeman led off the bottom of the third by doubling off the center-field fence against Jackson starter Jochi Ogando (0-2). He advanced to third on Garrett Weber's groundout and trotted home with the game's first run when Jackson left fielder Leon Landry robbed David Peralta of extra bases with a diving catch down the left-field line.

Jon Griffin restarted the rally with a walk. Jake Lamb doubled off the left-field fence, putting Griffin in position to score on a wild pitch.

In the fourth, Justin Greene worked a one-out walk and raced home when Steve Rodriguez doubled down the right-field line.

Mobile stranded runners on third in each of the first two innings. In the strange second, Lamb and Greene walked around Tom Belza's single -- a routine fly to left that Landry lost in the twilight. With one out, Rodriguez hit a soft line drive to Patrick Brady. The Jackson shortstop dropped the ball, but flipped to second to force out Greene, and second baseman Jack Marder fired to the plate to catch Lamb trying to score.

Green had a discussion with the umpires on the field after the dust cleared.

"My belief was the shortstop intentionally dropped the little lazy liner," Green said. "Because of that intentional drop, the batter should have been out and the runners should have been put back to their bases. That was not the opinion of the field umpire. He said it was an accidental drop. If he's correct in it being an accidental drop, then they ruled correctly. I just had a different perspective."

The Generals nearly avoided the shutout against reliever Matt Stites in the eighth inning. With Marder on first after a single, Jamal Austin doubled to left field. But Freeman, the Mobile shortstop, took the throw from Peralta and threw out Marder by a mile at the plate.

Kaleb Fleck got the final out of the seventh, and Jake Barrett followed Stites' eighth with a 1-2-3 ninth out of the Mobile bullpen for his third save.

Lamb had two doubles for Mobile.

The teams meet again at Hank Aaron Stadium at 6:05 p.m. Saturday. The BayBears will be trying for their first three-game winning streak of the season.
